the usual individuals. For June, artists
who have been studying with Shirley
Dahlsten in the 10-week class “Creat-
ing for Enjoyment” are featured. The
public is invited to the show opening
and reception during art walk.
Dahlsten brings to life her students’
understanding and appreciation of
the ways in which art has evolved
over time. In this class and several
that preceded it, she involved artists
in using a variety of media to experi-
ence demonstrations, still life set-up,
abstract painting, and self-discovery
assignments. The work of other North
Coast artists will be on display to add
to the variety of the featured art.
Refreshments will be served.
